Boundless (Unearthly, #3)

by Cynthia Hand

'A PAGE-TURNING AND GRIPPING STORY, FILLED WITH GOOD VERSUS EVIL DRAMA, AS WELL AS ROMANCE. I LOVED IT!'

--Alexandra Adornetto, author of New York Times bestseller Halo on Unearthly

The past few years held more surprises than part angel Clara Gardner ever could have anticipated. Yet, through the dizzyingly high of falling in love for the first time to the agonizing low of losing someone close to her, one thing that remained constant was the knowledge that she was never meant to have a normal life.

Now Clara is finally ready to fulfill her destiny, as the battle against the Black Wings and their minions looms on the horizon. And part of that destiny is being with Christian, even if her heart still aches for Tucker. When one of the people Clara trusts most betrays her, she finds herself fighting for her life - and the safety of the ones she loves.

In the electrifying conclusion to the Unearthly series Clara will gain new insight into the true meaning of her purpose, and decide once and for all whether she should be with Christian or Tucker.

MORE PRAISE FOR THE UNEARTHLY SERIES'Utterly captivating. Cynthia Hand has brilliantly spun the magic of angel mythology into a modern world of romance and suspense, creating one of the most addictive books I've read in a while. Unearthly had me lying awake at night, wondering what would happen next'-- Richelle Mead, #1 bestselling author of the Vampire Academy series on Unearthly

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Everything just happened so fast. Considering the gravity of Clara's situation, it was so hard to believe that everything got resolved so easily. The matter with Samjeeza, Asael, and Tucker. Here are my concerns:

*The stuff that went down in Hell and what happened afterwards in the Lazy Dog barn were so laughable. As what this book has shown, defeating Asael, believed to be one of the most despicable Fallen after Lucifer himself, was, afterall, just a walk in the park. The way the buildup was done, I assumed that an epic battle was going to happen between Clara's team and that of Asael's, instead, it was over before you even realized it.

* At this point, Clara's romance with Tucker was even weird taking into account all that has happened. It was more probable for her to end up with Christian.

*Another thing that really irked me was Clara's relationship with her brother, Jeffrey. Their relationship felt so superficial that it was easier to believe that instead of a brother, Clara actually had a sister in the person of Angela.


The only thing that I can truly praise about this book is that it's not as bad as that horrible ending of the Mortal Instruments, City of Heavenly Fire.
